Sitcom in a Café
We take her from The Facility
for a family drive and dinner
My ninety-one year old mother
Mostly deaf and nearly blind
Grabs paper cups of Catsup
partially-eaten hamburgers
and French fries from our plates
Says we paid for it all
As she deposits everything
into what she sees as her handbag
sitting on the floor
and slouching by her side
But we see it as my niece's
Guide Dog for the Blind in training
Gladly accepting the distinction
of the season's most fashionable fur purse
