Ethan Hawke letter 8, 062224

Letter 062224

Dear Ethan Hawke

Art does not make me a better artist, a better person. But it does give me permission to be an okay person, okay artist. I felt alone. I am the only one thinking these thoughts. Then, no. The pressure is off. Someone writes more deeply about being online and finally you are given, by time, a new sleep. You can disappear. Your art can disappear. It’s not your responsibility to be who you are. I was midway through a poem called cross machine and I’ll probably finish it. On youtube some guy in a backwards hat sings that this is his country. I don’t know where he is. Sorry, Ethan. Sorry, Ethan.
