2 and 2 are 4. 4 and 4 are 8. But what would happen If the last 4 was late? And how would it be If one 2 was me? Or if the first 4 was you Divided by 2?

This poem actually contains an illusion to sexual intercourse in the last two lines. In the third to last line, Hughes establishes himself as 2. In the next line, he establishes someone he calls "you" as 4. In the last line, the two (Hughes) is dividing (sexing up) the 4 (the mysterious "you").
