The Only Ones

I learned
A fair
Amount
Of caution.
Still,
I do not
Go away
From burning
Red,

Succumbing slow.

She swears
I am the only
Other person
In the state
Who sings along
To Teenage Kicks
And asks
How often
I am at this bar,

Her hair,
Bonfire red
Ascending.

She checks 
Where I am from,
"Because it 
Ain't around here."
We're sparring
Literature
And she invites me
To her DJ set
At Neon Farm
This weekend.
My cell's calendar
Updates
My Saturday night.

Vigilance.
Always check
The batteries
Inside your old
Alarm.
