Review of Trading One Tongue for the Other

Straightforward poetic piece from a young man straddling two worlds/languages. Beautifully honest, sadly removed. Nice fluid motion between languages and accents with plenty of content. THis is short piece that could fit an evening show but still there are one or two strong words that might restrict it's placement on air.
