Squiggles

Characters on a page squiggles, but meaningful ones on the page. Shuffle those around and put them on the page. Shuffle them around and try again. Think about them. Shuffle them around and try again. The characters on the page meaningful squiggles, but not quite right so shuffle them around and try again. Use new squiggles, but meaningful ones put those on the page. Then shuffle them around and try again. Put more characters on the page until the page is full. Then start over. Different squiggles, different meanings. Closer still, but not quite there. Shuffle them around and try again. Shuffle them around and… EUREKA! …no, false alarm. So keep putting characters on the page squiggles, but meaningful ones. Maybe one day the squiggles will say just what you mean and it just might change everything.
