I constructed this piece so that it would have a sensual quality, a sort of inner music when read aloud. Sentences were written and placed so a flow could be established. In my opinion that makes this a free verse poem as opposed to prose.
Thanks for your helpful explanation
The way you've rearranged it does make it look like a prose story. Maybe I should ditch the line breaks (which are a bit arbitrary) and call it a prose poem.
