1995-12-06 Aw Pook is Here

Aw Pook, the Destroyer
by WIlliam S. Burroughs

Itzama, spirit of early mist and showers.
Ixtaub, goddess of ropes and snares.
Ixchel, the spider web, catcher of morning dew.
Zooheekock, virgin fire patroness of infants.
Adziz, the master of cold.
Kockupocket, who works in fire.
Ixtahdoom, she who spits out precious stones.
Ixchunchan, the dangerous one.
Aw Pook, the destroyer.

Hiroshima, 1945, August 6th, 16 minutes past 8 AM.
Who really gave that order?
Answer - Control. The ugly American. The instrument of Control.
Question - If Control's control is absolute, why does Control need to control?
Answer - Control needs time.
Question - Is Control controlled by its need to control?
Answer - Yes
Question - Why does Control need humans, as you call them?
Wait, wait. Time, a landing field. Death needs time like a junkie needs junk.
And what does Death need time for?
The answer is so simple. Death needs time for what it kills to grow in for Aw Pook's sake.
Death needs time for what it kills to grow in for Aw Pook's sweet sake,
you stupid, vulgar, greedy, American death sucker.
Death needs time for what it kills to grow in for Aw Pook's sweet sake,
you stupid, vulgar, greedy, American death sucker.
Like this....

Bryon Gysin has the all purpose nuclear bedtime story.
The all purpose bedtime story, in fact.
Some trillions of years ago a sloppy, dirty giant flicked grease from his fingernails.
One of those gobs of grease is our universe on its way to the floor.
Splat.


Aw Pook is the Aztec god of destruction. He is also a character in the New Adventures of Doctor Who Simulation that I was participating in at the time and finally Aw Pook is a character in a poem by William S. Burroughs, entitled "Aw Pook, the destroyer." This is a ripe setting for the college of musical knowledge session. The presentations included: Test Dept., Grechtikeits Liga, Throbbing Gristle, Hula, Hunting Lodge, Klaus Flouride, William S, Burroughs, Faust, SPK, Controlled Bleeding, Nurse with Wound, Propaganda and a lot more.
