Dorothy Budd

We call her "The Dialysis Bandit"
because of the thin cotton mask she wears
when the nurse removes her tubing.

and she agrees her nickname is much funnier
than calling her Whistler's Mother
simply because
she spends her hours
against a wall
in a recliner
in a nursing home
watching tv
knitting
