except time, which starts with a second.

I absolutely loved this. I don't know how to explain what I want to say; simply put, I loved your way with words. It was so original to see "first" and "second" used connected but with different meanings- if that made any sense. Thank you for entering my contest.

serious clown (staying out of the city norm can be a boor but it can give conduciveness to building park yards sparks like cartwheels and contemplations),
There is a homonym that honeyed the ending for "Quote of the day" to be exceptional pulling a word differently in tandem. Thus, the definitions are off in groupings when tangents of the next are within the assertions. So "except time, which starts with a second" dispels the same beginning counting system to be always but disputes not the other.
Running thorough should be a thrill of an enthrallment as you were coordinated to show two points quickly, a couple of times it can go but predominately... while you saw something else pounding. A pun or a pin to harmonize too to not be harming by one flash card's effect. Thinking not just arithmetically.
The sliver of change has a silvery touch sometimes.
Genesis 1:14 makes it lacy "And God went on to say: “Let luminaries come to be in the expanse of the heavens to make a division between the day and the night; and they must serve as signs and for seasons and for days and years," so a launching of sundials had a precursor!
A flashlight was at my elbow for look envelobing it. -
