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.

11I wish I'd kissed you when I had the chance. \
12Your face hovering there, so near to mine, \
13your mouth pursed---what word was it you pronounced?
14
15When I think about you, [something in my pants][] \
16tightens, and my thoughts run, and I realize \
17I should've kissed you when I had the chance.
18
19I want that moment never to be past \
20like Keats's lovers on the grecian urn: \
21his mouth pursed, her figure turned to pronounce
22
23her hips in ways that are not feminist. \
24But time strolls mildly on, not glancing at my \
25wish to kiss you when I had the chance,
26
27whispered like a [beggar to a prince][] \
28outside his palace: time looks up to the sky, \
29purses his lips, and hears what I pronounce
30
31but pays it little mind. If he would just \
32turn back, bend down, and follow my design, \
33I would have kissed you when I had the chance, \
34as your mouth pursed and you pronounced goodbye.
