Fennel

When I was a kid we called it finocchio
and my mom bought it at the Italian grocery
or we picked it where it grew wild
in the empty lots of Los Angeles.
Now I buy it at my local market, the one
known for its gourmet stock.
They call it "sweet anise",
I guess they think their customers
can’t pronounce finocchio.
The other day a sweet, young thing
rang up my groceries,
"Oh," she said, swinging the soft, green plumes,
the sensuous white bulb,
into a plain brown paper bag,
"sweet anus."
