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.

+Inside of my memory, the poem is another memory.  \
+The air up here is thin, but the wind blows harder \
+than anywhere else I know.  It threatens to rip \
+my body away, like [an angel of death][], to the stars.
+
+In Arizona, I thought I would forget the rain, \
+forget its sound on a roof like a hard wind, forget \
+its smell like a far away ocean.  Luckily for me \
+it rains here.  Luckily, because I forget too easily.
+
+In a dream, [my father is caught by a riptide][] off-shore.  \
+He's pulled far out, far enough that the shoreline's \
+a line in his [memory][] on the horizon.  I can see him \
+swimming, hand over hand, pulling his small weight
+
+back to land.  I see him as [another shipwreck][] victim, \
+coughing sand and seawater, beard woven with seaweed.  \
+I see him laying there a long time.  I see all this \
+as he tells me the story, years later, the riptide
+
+only a [ghost][] in his memory, I only a child falling \
+asleep.  My mother's making mayonnaise rolls \
+in the kitchen, a recipe I'll send for years later, \
+in Arizona, in the monsoon season, when my thirst
+
+pulls me back home, my memory's lonesome twinkle \
+like [stars above the mountains][].  I'll send for it \
+and try to make them, but in the thin air they'll \
+crumble into dust like desert air, like a memory.
