The
Richland Mall Pook
My
cousin had a crush
on
the neighbor guy for a long time.
I
dated a guy for years, but we broke up.
He
asked out my cousin. The crush asked me out.
We
happened to go out on the same night.
Afterwards
when my cousin and I compared notes,
she
and my ex went to the mall looking for Richie the Pook,
the
big costumed mascot creature for Richland Mall,
but
they couldn’t find him.
The
Pook was at the hockey game where my date and I were.
Later,
I got back with my ex for a couple more years.
My
cousin never did get with her crush.
That
night was such an oddity in my life,
I
would be tempted to think I had dreamed it,
if
it wasn’t for the Pook. I remember that well.
