Civil servant in distress

 

At the Yoshpe/Berman bench I ran into a firefighter.

     Although he had on a brave face, things did not look too good for him.  He was facing a long way down, without a safety net.   

    

 I offered to catch him, but he did not think I had the requisite concentration for him to trust me. He might have been right.  I did have a lot on my mind.

So I left him perched on the bench, hoping that whoever had abandoned him would come back for him.
