a big plus for effort and trying to use the simile as an image, a suggestion would be to to make both parts better related. look out for excess with small words

slow down, like a motorist spots
potholes and cautiously adjusts,
in conditions of social discomfort. personally i think you need to make the opening more coherent, i think it's trying to hard to be a poem. the simile could work but doesn't. [like a cautious motorist
adjusts for potholes] that said it's doesn't connect well enough to the action of stuttering
Silent pauses occur involuntarily, [involuntary pauses] is all that's really needed. the simily is again being forced by the reader to fit the opening statement
like compressing and loosening
a gas hose concurrently,
sounds are annoyingly prolonged. no need for [are]
But with dynamic desire to orate,
as though realizing a positive idea
trickling memories of mumbling flow,
dialog goes on remorseful hold.
A part of a stutterers nature,
as if ones forced on a life path
that coaches in a torturous way
the harmony of body and discourse.
