garbage collection
Garbage collection is the public ritual that lurks beneath daily life, gathering everyone’s discarded bits and letting them vanish in the morning hush. With its lumbering trucks and expressionless workers, it silently consumes the grudges and debris people create, then wraps the city in yet more polished words. It circulates regularly, giving the illusion that someone cares, yet actually feeds a vicious cycle of latent resentment and foul odors. Citizens say thank you yet remain indifferent to this invisible force, prioritizing their own convenience instead. Perhaps the true cleanser is not the bin crews but the citizens who produce waste and the social structure that hoards it.
