These are my ideas:
Swap stanzas
Add an extra line in between each line, see what happens
Take phrases to make a 5/7/5 syllable haiku out of my poem, see what this leads to
Make a tiny 3x3 stanza which stands on its own, (3 words per line, 3 lines)
Cut one word from every line
Add two words into each line (I'm making this up as I go along btw)
Turn poem around, or change the speaker (I wrote one as my parents' dining table this afternoon :) )
Do something with the verbs, or nouns or adjectives...make them all start with the letter a or d??
Write a paragraph of prose, or a series of stand alone statements about what happened next; or how I feel now about the poem; or go all dreamy and let's-write-anything on it.
The poem is a door to something else, what might that be? Write that, then see if my mind finds something different in my original poem.
