I am with you, meeting, communing with this young man. The fine details, the depth of details is visceral. And the final haiku, yes. <br />You touched this young man also -- at least in your words here it seems, if this was a real encounter, that you did commune with him.

I carry dog food samples in my car, because for some reasons the ones struggling alongside their furry loves touch me more than others. Sad, perhaps, but still true. I LOVE your ending.

In your vivid attention to the smallest details, is truly astounding, to the reader. Do hope, the fact, you never saw him, again, means, he has found a permanent place, to call home, and not, something tragic, has happened to him. Thank you, for sharing this.
