Apache Junction

Poet: Ken Jordan Story: Apache Junction Edited by: Sparkle Jordan written: April/2014     Gonna take the 405 train to Apache Junction.     Bought me a one-way  ticket,  and I ain't look'n back.     When I get there, I'm gonna hike the Apache trail; forget about my past, and look forward to the future -     It's my dream to climb Superstition Mountain, and lookout across the wilderness, to free my mind of all negative thoughts, about the town that I left behind -     This is my fresh start!  In the land where they still panhandle for gold.     I hear that the sun, is at its most beautiful setting, over the Goldfield mountains.      It feels right, I have a gleam in my eyes again, and through the blessings of the Great Spirit, I'll have a few gold coins in my pockets too.     I'll visit the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine,  and prospect for a few nickels and dimes.         I'll gallop back to my place on a horse, kickback in the cool shade, from my clay colored, adobe style home, and look out at a field of cactus trees, take a sip of some citrus infused water, and call it a day.     Yep! no worry's, no problems, just the sky, and the Arizona air -     Well, gotta go, here come the westbound 405 to Apache Junction.
