it would be possible; labels work wherever they appear.

a series of lines separated by \\ is indistinguishable, to tex, from a
single large paragraph, which was why i suggested \par instead to show
what was going on in your example text.

in fact, a command defined as \par\noindent is far preferable to \\ in
this sort of situation.  (it's no good if you have non-zero \parskip,
but that's not you ... yet ;-)
