The rearview mirror and the windshield

In the automobile you have the steering wheel
To direct you on your path
And the farther you can go
The more you have gas
And so that the same old song
doesn't drive you insane
You can take your baby in
For a routine oil change
And you might hit the ground running
From the moment you were born
And you can begin again anew
Getting new tires when they are worn
We can connect how we care for our car
With how we live life
And comparing the windshield with the rear view mirror
Gives us great life insight
Compared to the windshield
The rear view isn't much at all
Next to that puny glass slab
That crystal rectangle stands tall
And if the windshield represents the future
And the rear view the past
We can't focus on what's behind us
Because what matters most is approaching fast
My car taught me this
This theory not mine
There was my two-minute case
To leave to past where it is-
Behind

wow, so relevant and sublime , loving this sooo much, thanks for writing it , you have helped me out with this one , a poem I needed to read and a poem I would love to read over and over again x brilliant.
Today I had a song by
TAME IMPALA called ELEPHANT stuck in my head and ive always loved this line the best,
He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac
'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back
anyway here are the lyrics
Elephant"
Well, he feels like an elephant
Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it
He knows that you're dreaming about being loved by him.
Too bad your chances are slim
And it's not like mister shook to get shy when they ask him who is on top
There must be something deep down in the dark down there
He's not too easily scared
He's got friends but they got fear
Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared
Oh, look see there he is now coming down the stairs
Here he comes
He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac
'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back
He talks like his opinion is a simple fact
Somebody grabbed his collar
He cried the whole way home
No one been remembered a thing when they saw him again
That's how it is 'til the end
Yeah
