The Nihilist's First Psalm
#2
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
