    <content type="html">I'm behind on some of my picture processing activities because I've been playing on my game console.   What's the deal?  The poem “Other Worlds” attempts to explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other Worlds&lt;br /&gt;Poem for Day 332 – 20151129&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When other worlds deign to call,&lt;br /&gt;to them I run instead of work,&lt;br /&gt;I have to wonder what they offer&lt;br /&gt;the outer world fails to give.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To adventure is the biggest draw,&lt;br /&gt;stepping outside the normal realm.&lt;br /&gt;Footsteps across other worlds&lt;br /&gt;to discover what is new to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could wear another face,&lt;br /&gt;another body or sex perhaps,&lt;br /&gt;be as beautiful as I could be&lt;br /&gt;if I walked across the other worlds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The views of different worlds,&lt;br /&gt;similar to mine but more diverse,&lt;br /&gt;immersion is the biggest draw&lt;br /&gt;when normal living seems a bore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The loot is can be most diverse,&lt;br /&gt;electronic bits considered gold.&lt;br /&gt;They're imaginary I'll admit,&lt;br /&gt;but still I long to find it all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll create an army to defeat&lt;br /&gt;the imagined evils of many foes.&lt;br /&gt;Find the soldiers for my cause&lt;br /&gt;as I seek to save the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly this is done with no pain,&lt;br /&gt;a world where age has no place.&lt;br /&gt;Thought I may die too many times&lt;br /&gt;I'll come back and try again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© 2015, Sean Green.
