We walked round and round in circles that afternoon
We were in love enough to look for Apollinaire’s tomb
Not Jimmy Morrison at Père Lachaise
Nobody knew where it was when we asked
Or who he was or what we were doing
Looking for what should have been easy
It took ages remember but the final stumble across it
Would have pleased him, secret-hearted and cryptological
Just about as far away as he could be
