Under The Wire Lyrics - Magellan

Language and meter 

Tools for a task 

Structure and movement 

There's logic at last 

Critical rave 

Misanthrope hired 

Humans want quickness 

So keep it under the wire 

"the pit and the pendulum" 

"the man of the crowd" 

"the tell tale heart" 

His characters move 

Baptism by fire 

The poet's survival kept under the wire...*
