1. What parens?  Does your chumash have parens around this Rashi?
2. It *doesn't* say "bamispor", it says "bemispor", with a sh'vo
under the beis.  That is what Rashi uses to say it's attached to
the first word of the next posuk.
3. He's not just ignoring trop, he's ignoring the end of a posuk;
but he's doing so because that's how Chazal interpreted it, and
he holds that it's not drash, it's pshat.

Zev Sero               All around myself I will wave the green willow
zev at sero.name          The myrtle and the palm and the citron for a week
                And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm doing that
                I'll say "It's a Jewish thing; if you have a few minutes
                I'll explain it to you".
