Conspire literally means "breathe together", like when a group is in a guided meditation. "Now let the thought float away like a bubble underwater. Now do it with the next thought." Or like when we lay together, we synchronize our breaths to be closer than we already are. Or when we sing along at a concert, we conspire. We gathered at the hospital. They took out your breathing tube, and you breathed your last breath, and I walked out into the rain, and smoked a cigarette alone.
