Solution
Verified by Toppr

Yes, the poet really wishes to become a hawker/gardener/watchman . Being a hawker he can go anywhere. There will be no restrictions on his movement. While being a gardener no one would scold him if his clothes get dirty. On the other side being a watchman he can walk on the streets freely.
