A serious question: Why is this not a poem?

I think it would take quite a poet to turn Stephan's original entry into a poem. I would not discount it completely as it is so banal and straightforward, that a brilliant title, or especially, a brilliant set of lines following, could turn it updside down backwards into something exciting, It does not interest me enough to try, which is a bad sign. Maybe if I was in a different mood? It could be the beginning of a poem, not a whole poem. It is so straightforward and boring that if it began a poem it is (almost) interesting. Oh well, I am generally positive, and I have no sacred cows.  I actually am beginning to think of how to continue this, and once it continued, it could indeed be part of a poem. Please stop me, I don't want to write it.
