SANTOS is an Australian oil and gas company. Acronym for South Australia Northern Territory Oil Search. Climate activists ran this Dump SANTOS campaign during the Tour Down Under bicycle race in South Australia. SANTOS is the sole sponsor for the race.

Changing childhood joys:

defy compliance.

As the curtains rise,
sunlight streams into the folds—
young bottlebrush sings.
