Two Cardinals from Canadian Thistle by potions

oh little girl do you know your lungs?
breathing is inside and inside the pink of gum
and ribs dancing in handshakes
purple wiccans swarm the plains
hippocratic entwined white snakes
do you know how surgery's done?

I awoke the only way that you know how
oh my friend I stood up and walking slow
saw two cardinals in canadian thistle
if I had a picture, it would have been a blur

oh your window do you know its view?
watching is from inside and to light, outside I see
cotton in the sky stretched far further than I believe
canyons beyond my numbskull,
dull blades of grass and boredom
it's often said young ones know none
