She’s dead now.
I forgot to tell you. 
A long time ago
So many years I don’t remember,
I had a friend in West Virginia 
Named Jennifer. 

She tried to 
Pierce her ears 
With a thumbtack
And stick a thumbtack
In an outlet to feel electricity.
She thought my nails were 
Too long and too purple and
I thought 
She had too much access 
To thumbtacks.

Jennifer had a friend
(Invisible) 
Named Janice.
And any time something 
Unusual
Happened
She also had a daughter,
And cancer, turns out. 
(Also invisible) 

I don’t know what’s come
Of her daughter but
Jennifer is gone 
And Janice
Doesn’t live here anymore.
