Yo, my homegirl’s name is Annie Dillard,
Breaks tradition by writing non-fiction,
Her themes are unheard, except for by nerds,
Her imagery’s whack and so’s her diction.
Always be hatin’, hatin’ on the church,
But that don’t mean that she’s hatin’ on God.
Drifting through space on a spiritual…
OKAY THIS IS THE BEST.
