"Name Yellow,"   
"Four Ninety-nine per pound,"  
the label says.  
The one clamped to a box  
filled with green aloe.  
  
Next to it,   
for one seventy-nine a pound  
brown yuca root.  
  
Behind it, countless bunches  
of yellow bananas  
eighty-nine cents a pound.  
  
So what, one wonders, is "Name Yellow?"  
Is it here in front of me?  
Where does it grow?  
What does it pair with?  
How does one eat it?  
Who can help me understand?  
  
*Name Yellow.*  
A code for an ominous war?  
Despite glaring fluorescents overhead  
I am left in the dark.
