This is not a metaphor.
Stalled,
the rusted engine
sputtering and spitting.
A translucent shape
dances out of the bonnet.
The clay-caked tyres
once black now brown,
squeal and vomit
as they spiral indefinitely
whilst sinking into their own holes.
A push from a single person,
the stubborn vehicle chuckles.
Maybe if we had more people
to push the car,
it would move forward
rather than permanently trenching itself.
