poem based on words and phrase supplied by the workshop participants:
euphoric, a smile that stretches beyond your cheeks, a world full of kung fu masters, antidisestablishmentarianism, vapory, contentment,
sacrificial eyelash, freedom
a world full of taoist masters
everyone you meet is your guide to enlightenment
the tollbooth lady who chats about the weather and asks, "Where did all this wind come from?"
the taxi driver who radiates freedom and contentment
the euphoric beyond-the-face smile of a child picking dandelions
the world tree sprouts from a single eyelash sacrificed by a sage
and I swing through its branches
monkey-mind unlimited
