Oops, yes, kalci for the first one but vikmi for the second one.
And no I don't think ko is needed for the second one. I see it as an observative like "eat, sleep, fuck. This is life" sort of thing (though obviously with a somewhat darker bent).
I suppose stress could be used to figure out which is meant, but it's certainly not super-clear
