No you can't - that's how poll() works (at least on Linux).

<man poll>
int poll(struct pollfd *ufds, unsigned int nfds, int timeout);

[...]

The field revents is an output parameter, filled by the kernel with the
events that actually occurred, either of the type requested, or of one of
the types POLLERR or POLLHUP or POLLNVAL.  (These three bits are meaningless in  the
events  field,  and  will  be set in the revents field whenever the
corresponding condition is true.)
</man poll>
