Washington Bridge Planh (Introducing Reuben St. Awesome)

 

Hello all, The Journal of Expressive Writing has published a poem of mine under the title Washington Bridge Plan. However, it is supposed to be Planh, a reference to a lamentable genre of troubadour poetry. Anyway, the poem is told from the perspective of one Reuben St. Awesome, a character I've created. Reuben is a pop star currently on tour when the poem takes place.
