There will be another time when you hear 
     a very loud
     sound too close to your ear
There will be another time when you are bit
There will be another time when you find yourself crying
a time when an itch gets itchier and itchier and itchier
a time when there is such a close call
a time when the truth stings
a time when you want to help a stranger's child
a time when you drink yourself sick and spinning
a time when something irreplaceable is lost
a time when you should not have said what you said
a time when you feel jealous and you thought you were past all that
a time when you wonder- is this what people mean when they say
     they felt a ghost
a time when you are surprised by your period like a teenager
a time when you promise to be there and forget
a time when you have to start all over again
a time when you step in it
a time when you glance yourself in the mirror
     and see your self
a time when, remembering your death,
you stop in your tracks 
catch your breath 
and release it again
