Gimme Some Money! | Short Poems About Greed
A poem about greed, laziness, and betrayal of the big idea. Written and performed by Alex Sheremet in the ario poetic form.
A note on the ario form: Bruce Ario (1955 – 2022) was a Minneapolis poet who created the “ario” poetic form, a 10-line poem with 3 stanzas of 3 lines each, concluding with a final line that inverts that which preceded it.

Text of poem:
THOUGHT OUR FILM WOULD SAY IT ALL
And then some scumbag wanted money for the footage
Of my friend. Well, HIS friend, as a fact
Was a ponderer's poet, while he cannot
Think. Well, he IS thinking
Of himself, bobbing down a perfect sea
Storm loosened from the surface
Of our lens. Guess which had a brain
Injury and you'd guess wrong. Say CHEESE
Bitch! Or that's what HE did at any rate
Offered. Not even poets deserve riches.
