What Are the Lessons?

Alice has joined her Mahjongg friends
For three days in San Francisco.
Without premeditation, Alice finds herself
Approaching strangers with a smile.

It is as though she has found a religion
That she does not fully understand
And wishes to share her joy,
While having no gospel to offer.

Alice is uncertain if this high
Will stay with her, or pass with the return home.
She recognizes her experience may prove ephemeral,
And is utterly indifferent to any long term extrapolations.
