Night Mirror (Driving in the Dark)

I hope it's clear that this poem starts with the nighttime mode rear view mirrors often have - and which I don't like- and then ends up somewhere else.

   Night Mirror (Driving in the Dark)

I prefer the headlights’ blinding glare
telling me exactly who is where
to the dimmer romantic glow
revealing less than I need to know
(objects are closer than they may seem
in the night mirror’s deep sea dream)
so please tell me plain what’s on your mind:
do you mean to follow, pass, or fall behind?
