Note: With the exception of alterations of pronouns, tenses, word order, and punctuation, along with insertion of possessive pronouns for noun phrases, and the removal of quotation marks, “My Peculiar Geography” is taken entirely from Wikipedia entries for the founder of Amazon.com “Jeffrey Bezos” and “Amazon” (the river). It will appear in the forthcoming debut volume of poems *by* Bezos, Relentless.
