It will be almost a month since you wrote to me

and you have possibly forgotten your state of mind

Learn to say, "Fuck you" to the world once in a while

Just stop thinking, worrying, looking over your shoulder,

struggling, grasping, confusing, itching, scratching,

gambling, tumbling, scumbling, scrambling,

groaning, honing, boning, horse-shitting,

hair-splitting, nit-picking, piss-trickling, nose sticking,

ass-gouging, eyeball-poking, finger-pointing, alleyway-sneaking,

long waiting, small stepping, evil-eyeing, back-scratching,

searching, perching, besmirching, grinding,

>From your description and from what I know

"Drawing - clean - clear but crazy like machines,

That sounds fine, wonderful-- real nonsense

More nonsensical, more crazy, more machines,

Try and tickle something inside you, your "weird humor"

You belong in the most secret part of you

such as "to decide on a purpose and way of life

a consistent approach to even some impossible end

You must practice being stupid, dumb, unthinking, empty

and even though you are tormenting yourself,

the worst you can think of and see what happens

you are only responsible for your work-- so do it

And don't think that your work has to conform

But if life would be easier for you if you stopped working--

However, I think that it is so deeply ingrained in you

It seems I do understand your attitude somewhat, anyway

because I go through a similar process every so often

I have an "agonizing reappraisal" of my work

and change everything as much as possible

and try to do something entirely different and better!

Maybe that kind of process is necessary to me

The feeling that I can do better than that shit I just did

Maybe you need your agony to accomplish what you do

It would be better if you had the confidence

just to do the stuff and not think about it

Can't you leave the "world" and "art" alone?

I know that you, or anyone, can only work so much

and the rest of the time you are left with your thoughts

After you do something it is done and that is that

After a while you can see some are better than others

but also you can see what direction you are going

You also must know that you don't have to justify your work

Well, you know I admire your work greatly

and can't understand why you are so bothered by it

But you can see the next ones and I can't

So try the most outrageous things you can
