Hi Jack,
I like this. A few minor suggestions:
I would consider cutting bins. I think it would strengthen the line greatly. You also could probably cut whatever without hurting anything.
It's also possible you could cut this entire section:
whatever transient pleasures,
be they destructive or common,
are worth pursuing in this life.
The last line and the world of sidewalks, (bins), discarded sandwiches & death are fantastic. They have a lot of force to them.
Best,
Todd
