I Could Define "It"

There is something...
"It" is something
remarkable
or maybe unremarkable
Anyway, I know
what I know...
That can't be bad - but
it would help if
I could define "it"
in simple terms or visualize "it"
zen whack-a-doo, whack-a-doo...
I know ( like Klee)
that color possesses me
and therefore I possess color
This moment is red,
gold and green...
It is downright petalishous
like Irises, Calla lilies
and Rembrandt Tulips
"It" is like China and Budapest
and Australia
and "it" possesses me
possesses me, yeah...
me - me - me!
And Klee, Miro,
Picasso, color and I
are one - today
I am a painter
