the beautiful invisible dragon

the beautiful invisible dragon,
flew through the radiant open blue sky,
blowing fire, discharging flames,
blazing rapidly in unbroken stride

beauty is propose as the instrument
that causes pleasure in the beholder,
beauty, as a means and not an end,
is what makes the content powerful,
it can be used to deliver almost any cargo,
from catholic dogma to outlaw sexuality

beauty is dangerous and subversive
to the complaisant obedient,
to the docile, controllable,
submissive loyalists to dictators,
kings, polite bourgeois
and boorish social classes,
trying to control the effects of beauty through
mandating exactly what beauty is and is not,
it is not worth the ghastly innuendos that the despots claim

the beautiful invisible dragon drifts carelessly,
daydreaming, through the transcendent vanishing
moment, begins and concludes with a telling point,
beauty is stunningly brilliant,
it is generous, the kind of strong medicine
needed to help make a more just society,
beauty is outraged innocence,
dungeon fisting, a ravaged virgin,
cocaine excursions into metaphysical masochism,
homoerotic sadomasochistic trading cards, film noir,
snapshots and mementos of naughty bits and pieces
