you don't need to select it. all you need to do is to add a click handler.

document.addEventListener('touchend', handleTouchEnd, false);
function handleTouchEnd(e){
   console.log(e.target.innerHTML);// returns whatever is there in the div
   console.log(e.target.textContent);// better option, as it returns text only
}
