I'm thinking this reads more like prose...which digs up the old argument what is the difference between poetry and prose....
I've always thought of prose as a short story that uses flowery, poetic language. Perhaps it is just my own personal definition, but that's the category I'd slip this into. If you want to bring it more into poetry, you could be a tad less narrative and try to let the scene tell us what is going on, not what you are doing or thinking.
It's and interesting read, and I have nothing against narrative poetry, in fact, I tend to slip into without noticing most of the time. It will be interesting to see what way you go with a revision.
Cheers,
