Steve Ditko Poetry

I've decided to write poems based on Steve Ditko comic book covers. Here's one cover and its corresponding poem.

When Darkness Falls!!

It falls so hard
You need two exclamation points
to convey
the force of its impact.
I remember when I visited
Niagara Falls.
I thought it would be funny
to trip my friend
And say,
"Enjoy the falls!" 
I tripped him
[his name was Todd]

and he fell
over
the
railing.
I told the police that he jumped.
This is my confession.
