50-50 analysis♪

Why this poetry:
It was kind of funny to me that what writer thinks (maybe it is only for me)....

Analysis:
1st stanza is one lady is complaining about she got no man.
2nd stanza is one big boy (I think this might be one man who like lady but he didn't
have chance to get close to her) tell the lady what's problem with her.
3rd~4th stanza is conversation between big boy and lady, lady ask what she would do
for get a man, and boy tells what to do.

JK♪:
I think deep meaning in this poetry is by poetry, writer want to show what man wants (sharing bed, and money) and what lady should do it for man to get fine man. I think it isn't proper to say in words, but it is kind of fun to write as poetry, to make ladies easy to share bed together or money.

I believe Langston Hughes is commenting on the "lack of love" in relationships such as this. The title refers to a "give and take"; each person giving something (or 50%), however, it appears that the man in this poem (representing many of his kind) is getting everything and truly not giving (love) in return.
