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!
