make it right

the phone rings.
it's too early for work, but
I take
the call.
are you coming, the old man
says.
can you fix what's come down,
can you be
here soon.
I need this done as soon as
possible.
i'll pay cash, or check,
or credit card.
I need this sheet of wallpaper
back up.
the seams have split.
it's falling right off the wall
and only after thirty three years
of being up and tight.
I can't live this way.
fix it please. I can't sleep,
or eat.
my life is in turmoil until
you come and make
it right.
