Last Man...

If I were the last man,
I'd avoid any hammock,
being poor
at testosterone tasks
- talents lying on the other
side of the brain.

So: evading the slinging
of a lazy fellow's bed,
I'd divert the arrows
by the power of words.
If only I could.

Cigars could mostly
wait, until the celebration
a propos
an Amazonian wife
at term, removes my lonely
label of last man.

I like the alliterative: 'testosterone tasks' and the phrase is so evocative!

Love it. Ambitious and brave too to aim for an Amazon for a wife...Good luck with that. Especially liked the bit about diverting arrows with the power of words. 'If only I could'...nice.

'I'd divert the arrows by the power of words. If only I could' Oh, me too. What an excellent line. You would really enjoy the graphic novel series 'Y: The Last Man'.
