her steamy long showers

it may have been
ten years ago,
maybe five when i hung
the wallpaper
in her bathroom, but
she calls
and wants it repaired.
the hot showers
and baths
have steamed the edges
apart.
sure, i tell her.
i'll be right over.
hurry, she says. i'm not
well.
i could go at any minute.
will there be a charge?
no, i tell her.
thank you, she says,
maybe the water has been
too hot.
