HURONIA

it's a hospital and a school 

w/ 'cottages' for those less fortunate

(or so they would like us to believe)

 

in orillia ontario

out of sight, out of mind

dedicated to robert c. batho

it's nuclear cartoons

I just ran w/it

H U R O N I A
volume up/720p

labour of love

grandfather

mother's side - deaf mute in the 30's - 60's

bob & mona, same deal

married - 3 kids

he could read a whole newspaper

in 18 minutes!  I clocked him once

ok he skipped half but still

dropping his paper in that dark living room

old musty furniture

looking at me

smiling

intelligent

well read - engraver by trade & painter/artist

truly gifted but he was damaged

hired then fired again & again

amazing work, but apparently?

difficult to work with

you know ... a little cuckoo (wink)

ok, he grunted a lot - always that scowl

that musky smell in those worn suspenders

he's been wearing for years

pipe smoke transgression 

if looks could kill

when he laughed

I thought the ceiling would cave in

scary if you didn't know him

idiot, freak, retarded

I mean, he deserved more

grandpa batho was eccentric

and he smelled bad AND ya he was

a fucking freakshow

exit stage left

a necessary shift

for 'safety'

no one understood him

he drank and publicly

punched a policeman in the face

not good for a deaf & dumb, unemployed

intoxicated misfit

stamped and stunned

sent to St. Thomas Psychiatric Hospital

for the rest of his life

we visited him there (60's)

it was actually quite humane

Huronia was a whole different story

more severe, detached

all relevant

if grandpa hadn't been British stock

he would have been sent to Huronia

I'm convinced of that now

our caste system

is still alive & well in Ontario Canada

money talks - and

we just pretend better

SALAAM/THALAIVA

that there are certain qualities 
that make you a divine human being

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
the story behind salaam/thalaiva

I lived up in the Punjab in 2008 for a few months
not sure why but I fell in love with India
from the onset
it wasn't the warm air, that masala hint
mass confusion - a magic

an innocence if you will

a rare transparency that is endearing

their 'business' is ruthless

but their humanity

is mint

I remember once having a few days off
going to a hole in the wall cinema
it was dirty and people dressed in rags
watching bollywood

90 min movie - 60 was dancing/singing
Ya, so SALAAM/THALAIVA 

it's a late Aug thing

This is what it feels like there, Mohali 

in late November - celebrating the Diwali

this is a preview of 

Diwali 22 (coming 10.22)
