Deferred means to give up or just push it away. This poem, to me, is about the speakers goals that were not accomplished. The dream starts out huge, but then after time, it gets smaller and smaller. It becomes less of a dream. The image of the "festering sore" portrays how sometimes dreams go unfinished for so long and start to become an annoyance. The bother you and it gets worse. This image is rather discusting but gets the speakers point accross about how if you don't accomplish a dream soon, it will become bothersome.
The symbol of the rotten meat is describing how people don't complete dreams soon enough and they "go bad". The dreamers are past their prime and so the dream is not even a reality anymore. The ending sentense about the dreams exploding describes how sometimes the dream explodes in a VIOLENT way and effects many surrounding people.
