Drunk Words

It's difficult.
Discerning if what people say
Is actually what they mean,
When they are sober.

I've been made the same
"Promise" twice already.

Hasn't followed up either time.
And both times it got mentioned,
The person was drunk.

Drunk people's slurred words
Make for the tipsies'
Slurred thoughts
Later on, marked by a blur
Of water.
And light as they
Get knocked over.
