Late one night I wander home
Through darkened streets that few have known
I trip and stumble and I land prone
Face to face with my asphalt clone.

This topic is a strange one. I tried looking up synonyms for "asphalt" and "clone" but it didn't help much.
Asphalt - tar, pitch, paving, blacktop, tarmac
Clone - reproduction, copy, twin, duplicate, look-alike
The only idea I got from this was maybe "tar baby" (like the one created by Br'er Fox in The Song of the South to fool Br'er Rabbit) but I couldn't figure out what to do with this idea and gave it up.
This one wins, for sure, Ed. Not only is the photo magical but to come up with a poem that illuminates the mystery of the topic makes it the only logical choice.
I think the topics are generated by a computer which has no awareness of what the topics actually mean (or don't mean).
