Coffee
How much caffeine is in my drink?
I bet it’s more than I think…
Frothy milk sloshing around.
I set my cup on the ground.
Sitting on a park bench, I pull out a snack.
Hoping a squirrel doesn’t attack.
How much caffeine is in my drink?
I wonder as I hear a coin clink.
Someone dropped a quarter on the ground.
I look around.
Everything is moving too fast.
I can hear a flag pole start to rust.
How much caffeine is in my drink?
To give me momentum as if I’m on a skating rink.
How much caffeine was in my drink?
I think…
I might need to rest in the grass.
After throwing my cup in the trash.
How much caffeine was in my drink?
Enough for me to be twitchy, I think.
How many blades of grass are on the ground.
1,002 is the number I found!
