I Know a Man, Creeley

"the darkness surrounds us, what can we do against it"

This was the moment in the poem when I actually understood some kind of meaning behind the poem. The darkness represents conflict to the narrator - something that he and John must deal with or get away from. The narrator is clearly worried about this darkness, but it seems that John is possibly annoyed with his rambling, and just wants him to pay attention to the road.

What is the darkness that surrounds them? How will buying a "goddamn big car" help them to escape this darkness?
