"Life" imagines dream, violence, color, and desire as parts of a single unstable order in which truth with women and force with men obey different rules.

The poem keeps insisting on sameness inside contradiction: good and evil, distortion and clarity, all coming from the same source. Its images are theatrical and sudden, especially when the dream world turns physical and somebody gets thrown. The final distinction between men and women is rough but revealing, as if the speaker trusts intimacy to expose truth faster than combat ever could.
