^Aye, and it looks like it was the poem that really tipped him off.

I'm not entirely sure about this bit so someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've heard Kaneki was apparently reciting the poem in Old Japanese (?). I guess it's the equivalent of someone reciting a Shakespearean poem in Old English. Not many people would memorize classic poetry in Old Japanese unless they were someone really passionate about literature. Kaneki was a student in Japanese Literature so there you go, lol.
