Drive-bys

I still drive by my homeless friend Alex every evening on my way home from work. He presents himself much in the same manner as the woman pictured above, only he is young and stands at the corner, his head bowed.
Every evening I drive by, ashamed that I do not stop, at least to talk or ask if he needs anything - what a stupid question that would be. Ashamed I cannot do more for him. Ashamed I can’t alleviate his suffering.
I am my brother’s keeper. I’m responsible for him, and I have failed him.
