Just kiddin'

Whathever we hear
  whatever someone tells us
 we can
    always
make fun of it

We can
      always
  take the words we heard
   the words they said
and
  add to them
 or
   remove from them
or
  transform them
in order to say something
    funny

We could be talented and clever about it
  or downright stupid
It doesn't matter
  we can always do it


And
   it doesn't stop at
                making fun
      of what we hear
and
 it is also always possible
    to take whatever we hear
 and bring it into
                    any
                    context
           we choose
 and comment it
 and reinterpret it
       within this context
          
We can shift
      anything we hear
 into
   anything we want
   
Anything we hear
   could be reinterpreted
      from the context
         of
         a political view
      Pick one
        it doesn't matter which

Anything we hear
   could be reinterpreted
      from the context
         of
         the war of the sexes
      
Anything we hear
   could be reinterpreted as
      from the context
         of domination and slavery
        
Anything we hear
     from a priest
   could be reinterpreted as
      from the context
         of the religious coercion
      
Anything we hear
     from a woman
   could be reinterpreted as
      from the context
         of her being a futile shopper
       or
         a hopeless sentimentalist
        
Anything we hear
     from a man
   could be reinterpreted as
      from the context
         of him being a little toy-obsessed boy in a grown up body
       or
         wanting power
        
Anything we hear
     from a child
   could be reinterpreted as
      from the context
         of ignorance
        
Anything we hear
     from a foreigner
   could be reinterpreted as
      from the context
         of their supposed culture
     
...
   or ...      
 or
   whathever
  really
     you pick
   it's easy
      try it
      you'll see
You could even swap the contexts in these examples
   and it could still work

  
It can be fun, right ?
  Hell yeah, it can even be a lot of fun !


But I'm not quite sure
  I want to live in a world of
    men-are-stupid-power-driven-boys-women-are-futile-sentimentalist-shoppers-priests-are-from-the-middle-age-children-are-ignorant world
  no more than in a
    men-are-ignorant-sentimentalists-women-are-from-the-middle-age-children-are-stupid-power-driven-shoppers-priests-are-futile-boys one
or in any other shoe-horned world


...
  each time we do this
  each single time
      we actually turn away from what was said
  we decide to throw it away
and to replace it
  by what we have in mind
  instead
to replace it
  by something we prefer

And even
  when we cover it up with a laugh
   with a wink
   and with a "I was just joking !"
 what was offered
    has been pushed aside
      transformed
      ignored
      or smashed to pieces


How hard is it
   to listen
   and to look
      at what
            is
 instead
