^{For the time being, ICE Flight witness}

^{has been called off by the city}

^{duty to the Plague.}

^{Flights continue. Asylum}

^{seekers are being sent home.}

^{No one really knows}

^{what it's like on the planes.}

^{My wife is making masks}

^{for health care workers.}

^{I'm listening to music}

^{on my headphones.}

^{I've just finished reading}

^{a biography on Dostoevsky}

^{and have renewed respect}

^{for the Devil. The Devil}

^{that's in me, the one capable}

^{of doing so much bad shit.}

^{That comes from knowing}

^{the brother Ivan. I wanted}

^{so much to be like Alyosha,}

^{studying at the feet of Zossima.}

^{A second-class Alyosha.}

^{Not better at all.}

^{No better than being}

^{a second-hand atheist.}
