In my techno-fugue state, staring at my new iPhone the way I once glanced at humanity, with interest and anticipation, I nearly knock down toddlers and the elderly, lost in my newly acquired identity.

Guayabera
A men's shirt popular in Latin America, the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, the West Indies, and Zimbabwe.
The origin of the name Guayabera may come from a Cuban legend that tells of a poor countryside seamstress sewing large pockets into her husband's shirts for carrying guava (guayabas) from the field. Guayabera may also have originated from the word yayabero, the word for a person who lived near the Yayabo River in Cuba.
