As my opinion,Whitman is not mean to express something consciously.
Talk about yourself to a stranger very deep from your heart even you meet this one just frist interview.
It should be naturally as my considering,
do you ever read another poem "To a stranger" by Walt Whitman ?

In my humble opinion, I think this poem is about people being nice to each other, like in small cities, when even if you don't know a person, you greet it.
