Found in “Power” by Andrei Codrescu, Line 1

“Power is an inferiority complex wound up like a clock by an inability to relax.”

The word “inferiority” means lower in place or position; closer to the bottom or base. When reading the poem I got a small idea of the meaning of the word inferiority but I wasn’t too sure so it was the idea that I had from using context clues.
