Flatten directory structure
All content files (*.txt, *.html, *.river) are now in /.
I did this to simplify the compilation step, and to make
linking easier.  I'm still thinking about whether I should
move the contents of js/, img/, and lua/ into /, or into
an 'assets' folder of some sort.  We'll see.

11| While [swimming in the river][]
12| I saw [underneath it a river][]
13| of stars. Only there was no
14| river: it was noon. You can
15| say the sun is a river; you
16| can argue the stars back it
17| like [shirts behind a closet][]
18| door; you can say [the earth][]
19| holds us up with its weight
20| or that it means well or it
21| means anything.
22| There is no
23| closet, [nor door][]; there are
24| no shirts hanging anywhere.
25| There is no false wall that
26| leads deep into the earth's
27| bowels, [growing warmer][] with
28| each step. Warmth as a con-
29| cept has ceased to make any
30| sense. In contraposition to
31| cold, it might, but cold as
32| well [stepped out][] last night
33| and hasn't returned.
34| Last I
35| heard, it went out swimming
36| and [might've drowned][]. Trees
37| were the pallbearers at the
38| funeral, the train was long
39| and wailful, there was much
40| [wailing and gnashing][] of all
41| teeth--though there were no
42| teeth, no train, no funeral
43| or prayer or trees at all--
44| nor a [river underneath][] any-
45| thing. There was nothing to
46| be underneath anymore.
47| Look
48| around, and tell me you see
49| something. Look around, and
50| tell me something that I do
51| not know. I know, more than
52| anything, that the world is
53| always ending. Behind that,
54| there is nothing, save that
55| there is no nothing either.
56|
57| Nothing somehow still turns
58| and flows past us, past all
59| time and beyond it, a river
60| returning, to its forgotten
61| origins deep within itself.
