Subject: 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.

+We found your [shirt][] deep in the dark water, \
+caught on the clothesline of sleeping pills.  \
+Your head on the shore was streaming tears \
+like sleeves or the coronas of saints saved \
+from fire.  The burning bush began crying \
+like a child who misses his mother.  Traffic \
+slammed shut like an eye.  God's mean [left hook][] \
+knocked us out, and we began swimming.  \
+Bruises bloomed like algae on a lake.  \
+Your [father][] beat your chest and screamed \
+for someone to open a window.  The air \
+stopped breathing.  Fish clogged its gills.  \
+Birds sang too loudly, trying to drown out \
+your father's cries, but all their sweetness \
+was not enough.  No polite noises will be made \
+anymore, he told us, clawing your breastbone.  \
+He opened your heart to air again.  Camels \
+flowed from you both like water from the rock.  \
+God spoke up, but nobody listened to him.  \
+We hung you up on the line to dry.
