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.

11Your casserole dish takes the longest: \
12it has some baked-in crust from when you \
13cooked chicken last night. Washing it \
14allows me to think about this poem's title \
15and the first few lines. Now that I've \
16written them down, I've [forgotten the rest][].
17
18While scraping at something with my finger- \
19nail, I catch myself wondering again whether \
20you'll thank me for washing your dishes. \
21I realize that this would defeat the point \
22of my gesture, that this has destroyed \
23all good thoughts I've had about saying
24
25"I'm sorry." This, [this is the reason][] why \
26I am always apologizing: because I never \
27mean it, because there is always, in [some \
28attic][attic], a thought roaming that says, insists: \
29
30"I've done nothing wrong, and I deserve \
31all I can take, and more than that."
