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.

18When Ronald McDonald takes off his [striped shirt][], \
19his coveralls, his painted face: when he no longer looks \
20like anyone or anything special, sitting next to women
21
22in bars or standing in the aisle at the grocery, \
23is he no longer Ronald? Is he no longer happy to kick \
24a soccer ball around with the kids in the park,
25
26is he suddenly unable to enjoy the french fries \
27he gets for his fifty percent off? I'd like to think \
28that he takes Ronald off like a shirt, hangs him
29
30in a closet where he breathes darkly in the musk. \
31I'd like to believe that we are able to slough off selves \
32like old skin and still retain some base self.
33
34Of course we all know this is not what happens. \
35The Ronald leering at women drunkenly is the same who \
36the next day kicks at a ball the size of a head.
37
38He is the same that hugs his children at night, \
39who has sex with his wife on the weekends when they're \
40not so tired to make it work, who smiles holding
41
42a basket of fries in front of a field. He cannot \
43take off the facepaint or the [yellow gloves][]. They are \
44stuck to him like so many feathers with the tar
45
46of his everyday associations. His plight is that \
47of everyone's---we are what we do who we are.
