grammar - Can the verb "wrap" describe the current condition of something?



Suppose there are two situations:




  1. A line of people waiting outside some store is getting very long and the line goes around a street corner.




  2. A ribbon is glued around a water pipe.




Suppose the conditions in both situations are current conditions. I am exploring the possible usage of the present tense of the verb "wrap" for those two situations:




The line of people wraps around the street corner.
The ribbon wraps around the pipe.



Is the usage of the present-tense "wrap" to describe those two current conditions correct?
